“Parking was a nightmare.”

The garage offered was very small and had no light.

The garage offered was very small and had no light.
You had to stand on a chair to turn bathroom lights on and off also fans.
Beds had cheap mattresses.
Cutlery was very cheap. Knifes for cooking hopeless. No dishes with lids for using in the oven.
Only one fron door key we spoke to owner who said he would look into but did not.
Light over cooker did not work.
Key missing to one of the balconies.
Would not stay there again.

“The Dolphins is the best holiday cottage I've ever stayed in, immaculately clean and comfortable with the most outstanding views.”

So many wows it exceeded our expectations, perfectly situated for breath taking walks, great local pubs, cafes and local shops.
Five star accommodation and delightful owners who ensure you have everything you could possibly need.
Would have no hesitation to recommend and will definitely return, the village itself is super dog friendly and welcoming.
Throughly relaxing luxiourious holiday.

“Fantastic location.”

Parking not on site, but no real hardship to park a short distance away. The village is great, award wining butchers, bakers and pubs. Brilliant little ferry to Teignmouth, only 60p for a child! Plenty of places to walk and socialise with a dog. Beaches are great, some good spots for pier jumping, crabing and kyacking. Lots of people collecting mussels at low tide.
The cottage was modern, clean and cosy..... the view is outstanding. Thank you.

Local caretaker should you need any help (we didn't). The balcony overhangs the sea / river at high tide and the main room windows provide excellent views day and night. 2 living rooms allows space for kids who want to watch their own TV. Will definitely be returning.

“Third visit, speaks for itself!”

we all had a lovely time again, even had good weather! we enjoy the house, its outstanding views, the high quality of everything, the wonderfull location, not just the water views and the village, but also the coffee and eating places, especially the London Inn on the doorstep, great food and atmosphere.
The automatic lighting is a bit annoying, and seems wasteful, and we never really quite got the hang of it, again - not a big deal, just thought would mention it!
will probably be back next year......
many thanks
Christine

The property

This wonderful house sits in a row right on the beach in Shaldon with fabulous views from the back.

This waterside house is an excellent beachside location for families and friends.

From the little lane, enter into the hall, off which is the lovely open plan living space which will take your breath away with its contemporary style, travertine floor and balcony looking over the interesting beach with its little boats, swans and great sunsets over The Ness.

The well equipped kitchen area comes with granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar.

Seating for four in a separate snug makes another cosy room for relaxing, watching TV or playing on the Wii.

Head up the stairs to three spacious bedrooms, with sea views from the doubles, and the bonus of an en suite and balcony with one.

Wander along the beach or around the village shops and green, or try cockle picking in the River Teign estuary.

Just across the bridge, enjoy the traditional seaside resort attractions of Teignmouth with its big beach and promenade.

You can hire boats, take a fishing trip, visit the little zoo or chill out in little pubs, or if you're feeling energetic, walk the South West Coast Path to Torquay.

The Dolphins is a smashing base for soothing water views or admiring this coastal spot with its range of attractions.
